Check out JP cycles part # 7200805. I'm fairly certain that's the one I used.

Like it, nice touch. Personally, your bike has a retro thing going on so why not keep the cap that's on there now?

Honky Lips, thanks for the P/N!
Branner, thanks for the compliment-I have until Fathers Day to 'decide' on the gas cap LOL! I'm kinda leaning to keeping the old cap on.
Sreamin Eagle 22, the light has been on for several years now since I did the tank lift...I have thought about 'fixing' the float but I kinda have the midas touch for wrecking things...LOL...who knows since we are getting snow & ice this winter maybe I'll do the deed!
HBarLeatherneck- Thanks, 60's & 81's! SF-I rode thru CO coming back from Sturgis in '09.

Hey Man,
What is that console strip you got there ?
I am looking to ditch my console, what did you do ? did you relocate the ignition somewhere else ?

I am curious.
